Ensalved by Consumption Dominico Johnston

Enslaved by Consumption goes beyond the standard personal finance playbook and explores the underlying streams of thought that are causing us to compromise our future and voluntarily enslave ourselves. Whether you are looking for financial advice or are seeking to understand what is driving our nation of debtors, Enslaved by Consumption will take you on a journey that will lead to a deeper introspection and an understanding of the financial landscape that surrounds us all. It's time you invest in yourself. Whether we are young or old, with debt or without debt, each of us has the power to guide our financial futures toward the goals we seek to achieve. To sail toward and reach our financial goals, we must have discipline. Today's personal finance topics are often composed of recipes. Financial advisors are paid to insist you save $X per year and invest in the market in order for you to achieve the life goals you have set before yourself. This advice is well and good, but only scratches the surface of the introspection that needs to be had amongst the majority of society. It is not that we lack the knowledge of what needs to be saved; the problem is we lack the will to save, the will to defer consumption, the will to say no to frivolous debt. To cure our affliction we must understand the root causes of what is enabling detrimental patterns of behavior to shape and control our lives. To break the chains of enslavement, it is necessary for us to know how we arrived at this point in history, what is causing the problem to perpetuate itself and how we each can take action to reverse its progression. Breaking the chains of frivolous consumption must be done one-by-one, to not only create a better future for ourselves, but a better future for our entire society.
